#BFT2014 | Where to Eat in Baguio: Alfoncito’s Place

There’s a place in Baguio City where you
can indulge your palate with authentic Italian dishes: at Alfoncito’s Place. Owned
by a family whose patriarch, Alfonso, worked in a cruise ship where he learned
how to cook Italian cuisine, the restaurant is a great place to dine in.

A wide range
of Italian dishes is served in this family-owned café. You should try their mouthwatering
pasta meals served with garlic crostini. Several choices are available to
ignite your palate: Penne alla Bolognese, Spaghetti al Aglio e Olive, Linguini
al Pesto with oven-baked herbed chicken, Salsa Marinara, and Fettuccine Alfredo
with Braised Ribs and Mashed Potato.

Once you
entered, you’d immediately notice the artistic design of the place that creates
a good ambiance and sets relaxing mood (photograph by PinasMuna.com)

Before
indulging in the delicious pasta dishes, you might want to enjoy their signature
chocolate drink topped with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon. There
are also other gourmet drinks available on the menu for you to indulge in while
dining at Alfoncito’s – be it hot coffee drinks or cold shakes and smoothies.

Open from
11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., this charming Italian café also makes a great hangout
for enjoying some mid-afternoon snacks. Treat your palate with their delicious
sandwiches served along with some fresh salads.

Unlike most cafés these days, there is no wi-fi internet connection in Alfoncito’s and gadgets are discouraged inside. What for? Well, cafés used to be a place where people hang out and enjoy great conversations in the past. It would be nice if people forget about technology for a while and focus on enjoying the meal and conversing with their companions. That’s what the café wants to bring back.

You’ll find plenty of conversation pieces in the café – you don’t need your gadgets to have fun while dining in this chic little place.
